Houston Firm Finds Unique Way to Serve Companies Adding Wellness Programs

HOUSTON - April 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Eclipse Wellness, a Houston firm specializing in neuromuscular therapy, is now offering on-site pain prevention/pain management to employees of Houston companies.

The new offering is designed as a supplement to a company's wellness program, but it can also be a stand-alone program.

Eclipse Wellness owner Michael Hachey says he decided on promoting an on-site employee wellness program based on the number of clients he sees who are having difficulty carrying out their work duties because of chronic or recurring pain.

"We see many people who are in daily pain and worry that it is affecting their productivity at work," he says.   "Since it's sometimes difficult for employees to take the time off from work or from family obligations to come to our clinic, we can set up a temporary clinic at their workplace.  They can then make appointments to access our services at lunch time, at break times during the day, or even right after work."

The need is definitely there.  More than half of Americans live with chronic or recurrent pain – most often headaches or musculoskeletal pain, such as back or neck pain, tendonitis and muscle pain.  

Chronic or recurrent pain can affect work productivity. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine reported that the annual value of lost productivity due to pain ranged between $297.4 billion to $335.5 billion – based on days of work missed, hours of work lost and lower wages.  

Eclipse Wellness has been providing pain relief to clients with sports-, exercise- or work-related injuries in the Houston metropolitan area since 2005.  The clinic features neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and other advanced massage therapy techniques.
